A bit over the top (and no doubt my budget) but I still like it. Plus you wouldn’t have to worry about minor scratches … Mike ...  

I like it too, definitely (and I like your sense of humour: the scratches ;-) ) Best, Emmanuel

But not of a style that I would personally feel comfortable with wearing 😊🤷🏻‍♂️ And huge congratulations on reaching 18.000 posts 👏🏻🎉🎊🎈

but I would definitely live with it if I had the chance to own one! 😊 Thank you for the 18k: I saw them coming at some point but finally forgot about them ! 🌸

Certainly not a daily wear 😉

I like that the case is part of the whole and integrated into the dial concept! I hope this kind of style will be replicated by others, not specifically this, but a more integrated way of dial and case! 👍🏻🤩

if any other brand does this. GS has done a previous iteration which is very close in style, but I think I prefer this one. Best, Emmanuel

GS would agree to live with me ;-) Best, Emmanuel

Do I prefer its snowflake dial to the waterfall one? Well, it's clearly a little more subtle, yes. I covered all these Micro Artist Studio creations in this post: www.watchprosite.com Best, Emmanuel

...the textured Platinum is my favorite...

Would be a good artistry to have in the collection. For this one, I’m not a fan.

I got this from a friend on a multi-year loan. But the boys on this site didn’t like the day/date feature. So I removed it (Photoshop) It did look better but when it came to “making a deal” I couldn’t UNSEE the day/date and passed on buying the watch. On ...  

I'm not too much into openwork but this Credor looks really good. It just lacks some sharp inward angles, maybe. And I personally prefer the Day/Date with the DD: it's part of its personality. And it looks quite nice too. Best, Emmanuel

I would be curious to see how it would look in a more urban night background such as a nightclub dance floor, I think it would do quite well it that setting which makes it very interesting as a grand seiko. The engraving is exquisite, I think I may have a...

For some reason and although I understand the appeal of spring drive, including the wonderful gliding second hand, I fail to connect emotionally with it.

And this GS is a beauty imo

GS has made a few other engraved refs. which look nice too: www.watchprosite.com Best, Emmanuel

The engraving work is stunning, artistic and kind of reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night.
